Rebel Salute

Well supported

The annual roots-reggae festival founded by Tony Rebel in 1994, held in St Ann and later Richmond Estate — strictly conscious in its billing, with no meat and no alcohol sold on site. It is the main stage for the roots and culture side of the music, and the counterweight to the dancehall festivals.
